In a recent report, UNESCO highlighted 5 glaciers on earth being irreversibly affected by climate change, with drastic consequences for the local population. Our team will climb these glaciers bringing images of the problem, and contact local population to register the impact on daily living. (pt version at: http://icecare.blogs.sapo.pt/)

Meeting with the Maasai Photograhers
Joana Roque de Pinho (aka NASHIPAI) created an extraordinary social sustainability project, giving cameras to some Maasai and specific training. This way the Maasai people could document the drought and raise political awareness for their problems. They formed the Maasai Photographers for Conservation - NGO that aims to train photographers as a way of tackling the problems of climate change and nature conservation. One of the goals of the expedition was the direct contact with the Maasai people to collect their testimonies about the consequences of climate change and understand how the ICE CARE Association can help lessen this problem or create sustainability projects in that region.
